In 2011 Mark S. Weil committed the collection of old master prints, drawings and sculpture, which he had built over many years with Phoebe Dent Weil, to the Saint Louis Art Museum, placing it in an irrevocable trust to come to the Museum upon his death. The 40 sculptures, one painting, and over 100 works on paper (mostly old master, but including a small number of modern and contemporary sculptures, drawings, prints, and photographs) will fundamentally transform the Museum's collection. To honor such an extraordinary gift, the Saint Louis Art Museum will produce an exhibition and catalogue in March 2017, consisting of a selection of 28 sculptures and over 50 prints and drawings. The exhibition and catalogue will be arranged according to thematic sections that are designed to demonstrate the high quality of these works, and also to better understand their respective periods, movements, creators, and functions.

History

This groundbreaking volume is a long-overdue consideration of the life and work of Joe Jones (1909–1963), an American scene painter and social realist from St. Louis. The book examines Jones’s meteoric rise from humble housepainter to established artist of national importance and recognition. It considers his work in terms of its modernism, relationship to Communism and issues of race, as well as the artist’s involvement with locale, ideas about authenticty and social commitment, and the aesthetic debates of the 1930s.Five essays place Joe Jones in social and art-historical context, exploring his significance in the St. Louis art world, the centrality of race and social justice to his life and work, the Dust Bowl, the Ste. Genevieve art colony, and Jones's years in New York.

History & Criticism

Claude Monet was undoubtedly the most important of all the Impressionist painters and his water lily paintings represent the culminating moment in his career. Monet’s famous garden at Giverny provided the inspiration for the paintings. The exhibition will bring to life the importance and beauty of this garden through a range of archival photographs, as well as an early, rarely seen film from 1915, showing Monet painting outdoors in his garden. Monet’s Water Lilies will reunite the three panels of an exceptionally impressive water lily triptych, created by Monet between 1915 and 1926. The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, the Saint Louis Art Museum, and the Cleveland Museum of Art each own one panel of the triptych and the exhibition will offer a rare opportunity to bring the works together. This will be the first time that this reunion has occurred for more than 30 years. With the single exception of a triptych in the Museum of Modern Art, this is the only triptych by Monet in the United States. The exhibition will be on view in Kansas City April 9–August 7, 2011, before traveling to St. Louis. The exhibition will travel to the Cleveland Museum of Art in 2015.
